Over the past year I have been asked on several occasions by people if they could contribute fan fiction to my sites for the Waking Dream. This was my intention from the beginning.

I have 4 main blogs, two of which are set up for fan or flash fiction. The Way of the Weird (http://wayoftheweird.com) is a site that features information about the Waking Dream as researched by the character Justin, who suffers from multiple personality disorder. Though I have been recently remiss in contributing to the site, I intend on beginning this weekend with new content. Stories for the Way of the Weird are histories, folklore and current events in the Waking Dream Universe.

The second fiction blog I am just beginning which is Corridor 03 (http://corridor3.com). This is a mock psychiatric unit where the fiction will center around case studies and personal journals of patients, doctors and staff in the unit. Corridor 03 is a part of the psychiatric facility from Waking Dream: Devlin (Book 1). I am interested in anyone who would like to contribute as a patient, doctor or staff. The site will continue to grow, adding to Waking Dream Mythos, or as I call it, The Loethian Mythos.

Over the next month I will be putting up a series of posts explaining the Loethian Mythos which will serve as the framework for others to contribute. One can learn a great deal by all the content on Way of the Weird, as well as reading the books I’ve published to date.

If you are interested in writing for Way of the Weird, please send an email to weird@wakingdreamonline.com. If you are interested in writing for Corridor 03, please use the contact form on the Administration page.

I thought I would interject something different today before I complete The Universe series. As some of you may know, the first novel in my dark fantasy series is due out September 22nd.

I have two sites devoted to the series. First is WakingDreamOnline.Com which is about the two books coming this year — one is a novel and the second is a collection of short stories due on Halloween. The second site is called WayOfTheWeird.Com and it is written from the perspective of one of the characters in my book, who spends his time to convince the reader that the universe is nothing more than a Waking Dream.

Today I’ve launched a new series of flash fiction related to the Waking Dream series itself. There is a great deal of content on that site, much of which is a distillation of all the things I’ve come to understand about life, religion and science.

This story is about a man who has the ability to animate dead corpses and enslave them to his will. This character will also appear in subsequent novels as dark plots are uncovered through the course of the first and second trilogies in the series.
